Annoyances

No one's mentioned lack of cup holders yet? I'll do it:

Lack of cup holders.

It's the worst when you forget, and you go buy a milkshake to-go and then have no where to put it, leaving you to finish it before you can go driving again. It doesn't really work to put it between your legs, at least for me the steering wheel is too close, plus the incline of the seat makes it more likely whatever's in the cup will end up on my crotch one way or another.

Naw, Ill keep the wimpy horns so when someone else asks me what annoys me about the car I can say horns. Then we can have spirited debate about what annoys me shouldn't annoy me.

I can see the title for a new thread: "Ask Sean about wimpy horns and other annoyances/tangents"


Just kidding btw.

I'm lucky with a very good mechanical Delorean in a very good condition. I almost love its history more than the car itself.
But after the 5 years I have my Delorean, 2 things bug me too;

-Stiff clutch
-My steering wheel vibrates when braking at more than 55 MpH. John

Any way of solving the stiff clutch? I don't remember the "Delorean" I drove having a stiff clutch, is this just your car or do others feel the same way?

My steering wheel vibrates when braking at more than 55 MpH. I changed the steering rack, brakes,... still does that, but not as bad as in the beginning.

This may sound weird, but did you replace the rear brake rotors? I replaced my front rotors twice for this same reason. Finally I replaced the rears and the problem went away. I could feel the vibration in the whole car though, not just the steering wheel.

Back on topic:

Annoyances... I'll throw another A/C annoyance, doesn't always keep up. I can't believe no one has said poor rear visibility yet.

On my D I'm plagued by:

-She isn't running right now
-The speakers are horrid
-The seats are worn
-The binnacle is cracked
-She's red (it is a love/hate thing I have going)
-She starts shaking at around 60mph and it gets worse if you go faster
-High nose w/ eyebrows
-The wimpy exhaust tone

This is basically my list of "must fix." I haven't driven her enough to notice any road noise but I'm sure she has it.

"Ask Sean about wimpy horns and other annoyances/tangents"

Include a poll! Let the DeLorean community as a whole decide whether Sean should or should not be annoyed by the horn. And Sean, to hell with the fact that it's your opinion in the first place; you still only get one vote!

Every time I hit 88mph, I go back to 1955 and…….

I was waiting for someone to list "Back to the Future references" under this list.

Aside from being red, I think I've had all these issues and corrected them. (over 5 years though, lol)
